    Me again, slipping clutch.

    Me again, slipping clutch. (solved) I didn't have a service history for my 1998 FZS600 Fazer so when I got her with 24,081 miles on the clock I changed the oil and filter, I had a few battery problems but by yesterday I had her running so I was straight out for a ride. At first I didn't...

    Long Island evening ride August 8th

    Hey all - I am going to plan for another evening ride. this time Saturday August 8th (6 days from now). I could go as far out on the Island as Greenport which is a really nice ride but I would rather not do this alone. Let me know if any takers. I am flexible on when to leave...

    Age vs. Miles

    I have a 2008 FZ6 with only 5000 miles on it.. I have replaced the oil (a couple of times) now running Motul 7100 and just changed the Coolant with Engine Ice. What else would you suggest for a low mile bike but 7 years old? Reason I ask is that it seems to be running a bit rough lately and also...

    (more) pics from southwest Colorado

    I figured I should post a few pics from our latest trip since I got lazy and didn't post any from the previous trip :/ (Mesa Verde) anyway........ We meet up with a couple of members from our sister FZ1 site and rode around the Ouray area, via a few mountain passes along the way. Cottonwood...

    Oh Bother.

    Most of you know I adopted a BMW R1200 GS a couple years ago for longer trips/touring, and it's become my commuting/weekend bike too. I've tried to put my FZ up for sale a couple times, but a last, balls-to-the-wall ride through the mountains convinces me to keep her awhile longer. It's...

    Went for a ride till Brown Mountain, NC

    Hey guys, I went for a small ride with a local group, StateLine riders. It was a fun ride. Luckily, we didn't fall victim to the rain. Compared to my previous ride, Mountain Meander, this is a very hide Highway route. Gives more confidence for novice riders like me. Videos will be...

    Honda Grom

    These little things are amazing, was wondering if anyone else on the forum had gotten the chance to have a blast around on one. A friend of mine got one on a test ride a week ago and let me take it for a ride. Next to no power but so little that it's still fun to ride. The same mate and I are...

    How are my tires? (Bonus topless pic!)

    Today I changed the oil+filter, did a coolant flush/replacement, and changed the air filter. The oil was blacker than Satan's arse hole and smelled extra burnt. Coolant was low and the reservoir was borderline dry. No leaks though. Put in premium (93 octane) instead of the regular(87) gasoline...

    New Member from Northwest Indiana

    Hello all, I just purchased a 2007 FZ6 in what I now understand to be the much slower (but much better looking) candy red. Bought the bike off of a coworker who didn't have time to ride it and sold it to me at a good price. The bike has 3,000 miles on it and is clean. Looks like it was...

    Resume from places I have been on motorcycle...

    This post is to show only a little of places I went on my motorcycles, with time I think it should be cool to post complete translations of the posts that are on my blog but that takes way too much time. Let's start... 1st - 2009, a ride into Douro (from Porto almost until Régua), crossing...

    New Texas Rider (Plus pics!)

    Hello everyone! Completed my MSF course about a week ago and for my 25th Birthday yesterday I bought my first bike. It's an 05 FZ-6, 20.8k miles. Lots of people have their dream car, but since I was 15 I always admired the R6's style and performance. I had an excellent instructor during...

    2015 BMW R1200RS Ride and Review

    My dad recently took delivery of his brand new 2015 BMW R1200RS, this supposedly is the first one in Ontario, and from what I've seen, the one of the first ones around anywhere. I go for a ride and review it best I can, then do a walk around. Wicked bike in my opinion, same boxer twin as the...

    Went for a ride with no wind screen today...

    And now I am definitely going naked. I don't see why anyone would want to leave those terrible things on their motorcycle. Naked is the way to go. I could ride without my vision being blurred from my head being beaten so violently. I don't have a headache and an inability to hear now that I'm...
